but it was bought with the intention of making the loonaque for the benefit of the club at shows fair play in my book

But at the end of the day, mini-cars have been done (even to a Nova) and although the Dukes idea sounds cool, it'd merely be a Nova with the doors welded shut. Do you not forsee the amount of stick we'd get at shows for that? lol

SAloonaque is different (as Lee rightly said, how many trailers do you see that are made out of two ends of the car? Rather than just a big metal sheet) and serves the club as its functional.

Aye, should raise a few eye brows next show season this!! And hopefully ill be making it to every god damn show next year :thumb:

Its still a long way off mind really Lee, but several good weekends of mincing & a fixed trigger on't welder should see it coming on well like.

Oh god, theres tonnes to do if we want to make it look half decent, then theres all the bollox of making a useable barbie which wont set fire to the back of it, not to mention the paint and all the other crap we want to stuff in it!

When you come up next, getting it into a towable condition will be all i'm aiming for tbh, plus blending the quarters from the hatch properly. We have another rear bumper now though thanks to Jackalous :)

we all rekoned we really could have really done with it last weekend!!

Yea a towable state shouldnt be to hard at all TBH matey, we've got both sections of the A frame made all's we gotta do is weld it together, bolt & weld to the chassis an we're practically done Re: Towing state.

The qaurter panels could be a little faffing about as we gotta get them right so the doors can still open, else we're funked lol
